I like the 'photography and design' side. On the other side the horizontal line is not working for me. Also, why not go with a personalized domain and email instead of Flickr/Hotmail?

It's impossible to make out your name. Maybe you should go with a more standard, easily readable font.

jayjohnson: v 3.0 looks good, but as mentioned above, its even harder to make it out now. you also have no contact info.

I'd recommend a backside with PLAIN text with your name, company name and contact info.

thanks for the inspiration! I am going to put up my cards soon once I get a comp I am happy with

+1.

Very very stupid question, when I make a business card in PS, (I want to work on a new one) what color type would I use? I believe it was CMYK before, and it threw their printers off and they had to do a reprint, with Overnight prints, can you upload a custom design and have them look it over first? Also is there a menu in PS where it shows you bleed lines and stuff just to be safe?

Overnightprints.com allows you to used CMYK and RGB, but they prefer CMYK.

Once it's online you can see the preview, but I don't think anyone reviews your order. I guess if there is a gross error someone might notice and call you. I've never had a problem, just check and double check your dimensions and bleeds. I was a little nervous placing my first order for cards, but they turned out great.

In PS, View menu, New Guide. You have to use the rulers to set them in place though.

Some very nice photography cards!

Ah ok, they said an out of Gamut printing error occurred and they wanted me to pay for them but I explained there was no place that said it has to be this file, so they replaced them for me, still took awhile to get them though.

I forget which option I chose but they reprinted them for me so I was happy

I try to change my business cards about every 18 months. Here's my new business cards I designed for the 2010-2011 season:

The easiest way to fix the poor English on the back of the card would be to remove it entirely, I reckon.
